Oriental Beach Renewal

On a Dark and Stormy Night.

Replacing sand before a big beech volleyball tornament. The beech is entirely man made with sand trucked in from Golden Bay in the South Island.

I forgot to take my remote shutter release so could only get short (30 second) exposures and it started raining almost as soon as I got there.

Made for good dramatic clouds though.
